    Rick Beato is to rock what David Attenborough is to nature - the world's most enthusiastic and likeable teacher.

    The outro solo could be 4 hours long and you'd still be sad that it's ending

    I’ve listened to this song a thousand times, and now I’ve <i>heard</i> it.

    As a 19 year old black kid in Louisiana in 2005 who only listened to pop and rap, I was in class at LSU and saw someone wrote Comfortably Numb on the back of a seat. I decided to finally download Pink Floyd and try it. They became my favorite band and this song will never be topped. And this video makes me hear it like a new song all over again.

    If this gets a copyright strike I&apos;m gonna go postal.<br><br>Comfortably Numb is a candidate for perfect song.

    Shout out to Nick Mason for his savagely restrained, sublime drumming.

    My wife had heart surgery at 34 years old and in the surgical suite they had an incredible sound system. They asked what she wanted to fall asleep to and she picked “comfortably numb”. The surgical team asked if it would be ok to play it once and just all listen to it first before they began. Epic.

    A few years ago our local record store had a sign on the wall &quot;No talking during David Gilmour solos&quot;. Amen to that!

    And I thought I had heard this song a thousand times. Turns out, I’d never heard it at all.

    This is one of those songs that I intentionally don&apos;t listen to often. &nbsp;I want every time to be fresh, special.

    Just saw Mr. Gilmour at MSG last week. 78 years old and was absolutely mind blowing.
